I just went back over my email string with one of our transit providers since I recalled submitting an exempt form for something. They added the Federal Universal Service Fund Surcharge to our transit link, odd since this isn't a voice related circuit. This also wasn't on the quote or

In reply to the group as my reply was only to Luke. This is why I say, they should need to justify the extension of these costs. In my opinion a transit provider should not have any justification to extend said costs. One might suggest that the unjustified extension of these costs could be
